Once in a while I do, I see that he is a regular but common he cant possibly play 24/7 all the time like he is, he is on all hours of te day or night. He must have some automated software for a break as he never breaks...
unreal not saying he isnt real but there is no way he is real 100% of the time!

I play aginst him e everyday allday. He only plays premium hands. Pushes pairs often and top pair. If ur in a hand with him and hes playing jes most like got top pair, over pair or big draw. He doesnt play many hands but if hes in there hes got the goods.

Right, this year's play count as of today is 5,465. (average of 500 per day?) But, he/she is not listed as top 20 players profitwise as of yet. Overall, it looks like this Russian is up around $25k (plus $$$ VIP rewards).

I highly doubt he's "not real".. I once discovered 4 german bots who were regulars at my games (their accounts are closed now), and they were all not opted in on sharkscope. Why would someone using a bot opt in on sharkscope? Whoever has something to hide should choose to either not opt in or lock their stats. Also, I don't think his volume is that unreal. Fifty-Fifties are very easy to grind and end at 5 players left, so he never has really shorthanded tables -> more time for decisions. If he plays 35 tables continously (which is well possible IMO, even over several hours), that's 60-70 games per hour. His average # of games in 2014 per playing day was 425, so that's less than a working day. He's also played only 313/365 days in 2014. Why would a bot take off 1 day per week on average? With supernova rakeback (assuming he breakevens, which he basicly does) he has earned about $9K in 2014. Depending where in russia he's living this might actually be a decent income. Just saying, it's 99.9% certain that he's 100% real.

Well you cannot do anything if bad luck on your side, what you can do is ride the variance out and hope that in the long run you will not longer be in the negative if you always go in as the favorite on the flop or pre flop mate. Anyway good luck at the table hope you have fun and good luck making some money off those fishes and also keep your chin up when s**t is not going your way it will turn around eventually! Cheers mate!

Getting back to the point of this thread...... In concurring with a number of posters, I see nothing wrong in the play here. Turn the tables. What would you have done in his position where someone had limped from early/mid position and you held AQ?
Maybe your problem was your limp.... Or the fact he had a better starting hand than yours and while appearing to recover, you subsequently lost......and even had he just limped, the same bets would have followed on the flop and you would have both been all in and you would have still lost!

Yeah raise the J10s or open fold, no real merit in limping... and on the flop I don't really get the shove, there's no side pot, you want to get value from your flopped straight, not push him off the hand.
The early limper complaining about the shortstack who sits with 3BB why he made the correct play and how on the earth its possible that he had this many luck? Am I on BRM or am I on BRM? Truly astonishing threads are already up this year from mobbits around the world but this might be a true winner for january and I have zero doubt about this.
